For those unfamiliar, Fertitta is a wide array of business interests under his namesake company, Fertitta Entertainment. He owns restaurant giant Landry’s, Inc., Golden Nugget Hotels & Casinos in Las Vegas and NBA Houston Rockets, among others.

In a statement, Fertitta claimed Post Oak Motor Cars is the first dealership in the US to accept crypto payments.

[blockquote]“The rising of bitcoin sparked my interest,” he said. “Being a premier luxury car dealer, I always want to offer my customers the very best buying experience and this partnership will allow anyone around the world to purchase our vehicles faster and easier.”[blockquote]

Payments are accepted through BitPay, a global bitcoin payment service provider based in Georgia, so anyone from anywhere in the world can purchase luxury cars the dealership offers.

BitPay Chief Commercial Officer Sonny Singh said they’ve noticed some people make large purchases using bitcoin because “it is a simple way to make payments.”

“This partnership is timely with the increasing popularity of Rolls-Royce, Bentley and Bugatti vehicles. Post Oak Motors has a great reputation of selling the finest cars and we are thrilled to be partnering with Tilman,” he said.
